JumpTV and NeuLion to Merge and Create Internet Protocol
Television (IPTV) and Web Streaming Powerhouse
IPTV Leaders to Come Together to Offer End-to-End Multi-Platform Enterprise
Solution for Online Sports, International and Religious Programming
TORONTO – June 9, 2008 – JumpTV Inc. ("JumpTV"), (TSX/AIM: JTV), a leading broadcaster of
live and on-demand sports and international television over the Internet and NeuLion, Inc.
("NeuLion"), an end-to-end IPTV service of live and on-demand sports, international and religious
programming over the Internet and through set top boxes, today announced the companies have
signed a binding letter of intent to merge (the "Transaction"), creating a leading enterprise IPTV
provider of online sports, international and religious programming.
Under the terms of the Transaction, JumpTV will issue 49,521,958 common shares, 1,840,097
contingent shares, which represents approximately the entire issued and outstanding shares of
JumpTV, and 5 million warrants exercisable for two years at US$0.05 above the five-day
weighted average closing price prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreement, to the
securityholders of NeuLion, in exchange for their NeuLion securities. JumpTV also intends to
grant 2.7 million employee stock options, subject to securities law and exchange rules
compliance, exercisable at the five-day weighted average closing price prior to closing, which is
expected to be on or before October 1, 2008.
Founded in 2004, NeuLion, a private corporation based in Plainview, New York, provides web-
based IPTV services to leading sports customers such as the National Hockey League and the
International Fight League. NeuLion also delivers a Set Top Box IPTV solution to premier
international customers such as ABS-CBN (Philippines), KylinTV (China) and Globecast (France).
NeuLion recorded unaudited revenue for year ended December 31, 2007 of US$7.8 million and a
net loss of US$4.0 million inclusive of US$1.5 million of non-cash minority interest losses.
NeuLion's financial information is unaudited; however, this financial information will be audited in
connection with the Transaction and included in the Information Circular for the JumpTV
shareholders. JumpTV has engaged Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as its financial advisor in
connection with the Transaction and JumpTV's Board of Directors has retained Canaccord
Adams to provide a fairness opinion which will be included within the information circular in
advance of the shareholder vote.
The Transaction is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2008, subject to receipt of shareholder
and customary regulatory approvals, as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
The merged company will continue to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). In
accordance with the rules of the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"), the
Company's shares have been suspended from trading on AIM until the completion of the
Transaction. At that time, the Company will either reapply for admission for trading or will seek its
shareholders' approval for cancellation of the listing. The parties anticipate significant operational
and human resource synergies and expect an aggregate headcount reduction of approximately
60 people by December 31, 2008.
The merged entity brings together two IPTV industry leaders to deliver a multi-platform IPTV and
set top box solution encompassing:
• Sports: More than 200 partnerships with leading professional and collegiate sports
properties, including the National Hockey League (NHL), more than 150 NCAA colleges
and universities, the World Championship Sports Network and the 2010 South American,
African and Asian World Cup Qualifiers
• International: More than 200 partnerships with premier international networks and
channels, such as KyLinTV, the first Internet television service dedicated to the Chinese
community living in North America, and ABS-CBN, the number-one TV network in the
Philippines
• Multi-Platform: Live and on-demand video streaming over the Internet including
NeuLion's Set Top Box solution for streaming to television
• Web Services: JumpTV's end-to-end "One Fan Profile" online customer relationship
management (CRM) solution which includes web hosting, video streaming, ticket
management and e-commerce
"The combination of our highly complementary technologies and depth of expertise in the areas
of sports and international IPTV delivery makes for incredible synergy between the two
companies," said G. Scott Paterson, Executive Chairman, JumpTV. "This merger enables us to
provide our partners with a complete solution for streaming content live online across multiple
devices and viewing platforms."
"Consumers are becoming more reliant on broadband and Internet services for their media
experiences and this shift creates enormous opportunity for content owners to reach untapped
global audiences," said Nancy Li, Founder and CEO of NeuLion. "NeuLion and JumpTV have
committed to creating a one-of-a-kind enterprise offering that manages the end-to-end delivery of
content through all broadband platforms: the PC, the TV, and an array of mobile devices."
Terms of the Agreement
The transaction is conditional on the companies entering into a definitive agreement on or before
June 25, 2008 (the "Definitive Agreement") and shareholder approval at a meeting anticipated to
be held on or about October 1, 2008.
In connection with the merger, JumpTV has decided to retain certain assets of its content delivery
network (CDN) and international channels, which it will leverage within the combined company
structure and multi-platform IPTV offering. JumpTV previously disclosed that it intended to divest
its CDN and international channels.
Sports Programming
The merger brings together the largest online offering through the following partnerships and
properties:

• 2010 South American, African and Asian World Cup Qualifiers
• World Championship Sports Network
• International Fight League
• World class pro-cycling events such as the Giro d'Italia, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-San
Remo, and the Vuelta a Espana

sports video category with a recorded 40.4 minutes per viewer per month in the U.S. Additionally,
JumpTV viewers watched approximately 20 million minutes of online sports video in the U.S. in
March ranking it as #4 in the Sports Video Sites category overall.
During the 2007-2008 National Hockey League season, NeuLion-delivered NHL broadband
service streamed over 1,700 NHL hockey games. In the two weeks preceding the NHL Stanley
Cup playoffs, the service reached over 10 million unique visitors.
In the past 12 months, JumpTV streamed more than 15,000 live sports events online making it
one of the largest broadcasters of professionally licensed live sports programming over the

Forward-Looking Statement
Certain statements herein relating to JumpTV's plans to merge with Nuelion, Inc. are forward-
looking statements and represent JumpTV's current intentions in respect of future activities.
These statements, in addressing future events and conditions, involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Forward looking statements can by identified by the use of the words "will",
"expect", "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and statements
that an event or result "may," "will," "can," "should," "could," or "might" occur or be achieved and
other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and
assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors
should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-
looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this release are based
upon what Management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure
readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this release and the Company assumes no
obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by
law. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including: general economic and
market segment conditions, competitor activity, product capability and acceptance, international
risk and currency exchange rates and technology changes. More specific risks include that the
merged entity will not be able to realize some or all of the expected synergies due to
incompatibilities in the merging businesses, the inability of management to bring about such
synergies or a changing business environment rendering such synergies inadvisable or
uneconomical. After integrating the businesses the suite of service offerings may not perform as
expected if shifting demand moves in a direction away from the expected business model of the
merged entity, if competitors are able to take market share away from the merged entity or if
changing technology adversely impacts the merged businesses. In addition, while the Company
expects its content partners and those of NeuLion to continue and expand their relationship with
the merged entity, there can be no assurance that such relationships will continue as expected, or
at all. More detailed assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially differ
than current expectations is contained in the "Risk Assessment" section of the Company's 2007
annual MD&A.

Speaking in the dark this could be good for IPTV but bad for the purposes of SA IPTV. But as I said not only earlier before reading this but way back before SA IPTV sent out a single box if IPTV in general is to succeed it needs to be more inclusive, not more restrictive.
Religious Programming
The merged company will include NeuLion's partnership with Sky Angel, a Christian family-
friendly TV and radio network. Sky Angel's offering includes approximately 50 television channels
and over 20 faith-based radio stations.
Obviously the currect contract will probably continue unabaited to the exact letter of the agreement. OTOH wouldn't it be ironic if the new company pulled what SA did on it's lifetime subscribers and claim all bets are now off - we're a new company! LOL
But I feel certain that the new company will have little interest in supporting a Christian only locked use for the box as it restricts it's ability to market to the already converted and installed IPTV customers on it's list. Who better to appeal to for paid services?
And we are already seeing signs of more content being available even before this merger was announced. Looks like a clue to me as to how they intend to proceed!
This would tend to contradict some of the bold gatekeeper claims SA officials made in their sales pitch to forgive, forget, and join them in this new endeavor. No wait, they never did ask to be forgiven because they never really took responsibility for failing to deliver.

HERE TO HELP YOU!
Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.

I created this thread on the original Edgecutter Cutting Edge Forums site. It's simply a place for those to review the latest software available for those using Windows 10 and Windows 11. To date it has received 112,559 views. I have been asked by staff to continue this thread here.

To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
For niche use cases, yes I agree. Kali for ethical hacking and security testing, and running a Cacti server for network monitoring are the two things I have experience in. Plus thousands and thousands of other things, but for every day use I just can't see it. The owner of the GMRS repeater that I pay to access is changing the Tx DPL tones tomorrow, while Chirp is available on Linux, the software to program my MXT500 is not.To each there own but I've found that Windows can't do much more than Linux can. Can't have everything.
I run Fedora and Ubuntu in VMWare, honestly I don't care much for the UI of either of them and I don't feel like spending days/weeks to customize the UI to make it look Windows-like when I could just use Windows. The cartoonish dock at the bottom of the screen reminds me of Apple products.
As I said above, and, FWIW, I run Win11 Pro and Arch on separate 250 GB NVME drives, using F8 to select which I boot to, with a 1TB SSD for storage, accessible to both OSs and a third formatted Nvme I want to use to learn Kali. It was much faster to setup Arch than it was to strip down Windows. Windows still takes much longer to boot.
For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

Help, I'm a little confjused on the activation process.
I purchased the Joey 4 from Solid Signal and shipping box has Call 866 726-4282 to Avtivate new Receiver. That number is Solid Signals number.
I googled and that search said call Dish to activate. I assume that is correct unless this requires a 2 step process.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

The new curated multiview is now live.
While on many of the sports channels and non sports channels there is a multi view option button. It will pull up a side bar with many different multi view options.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
